Important note:  When you print PDF files, be sure to use the Adobe Acrobat Reader "print" function and not your browser's print function.  Also, to ensure that figures are printed accurately, please ensure that the check box labeled "Fit to page" in the Adobe "Print" dialog box is unchecked.  If the box is checked, the diagram sizes may be adjusted to fit the paper size, distorting images such as the accurately plotted DWAS meridians that should be exactly 4" apart.
